Lower Body Garment Support Assembly

ABSTRACT

A lower body garment support assembly for restricting the movement of a waist band for a pair of boxing shorts during rigorous physical activity or when an elastic band or fastener in the waist band fails. Straps are sewn into the inner hem of the boxing short waist band. The straps include upper straps that join with lower straps after wrapping around the waist band of an adjacent and underlying jock strap. The boxing short waist band extends and wraps the straps tightly to the jock strap waist band. Since the jock strap functions to fit snugly to the body, the boxing shorts waist band uses the jock strap waist band as an anchor to the waist. In this manner, the boxing shorts waist band can remain in place around the waist with minimal movement above or below the waist during a boxing match.

One or more embodiments of the invention generally relate to waistbands. More particularly, one or more embodiments of the inventionrelate to retaining waist bands in proximity to the waist area.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The following background information may present examples of specificaspects of the prior art (e.g., without limitation, approaches, facts,or common wisdom) that, while expected to be helpful to further educatethe reader as to additional aspects of the prior art, is not to beconstrued as limiting the present invention, or any embodiments thereof,to anything stated or implied therein or inferred thereupon.

The following is an example of a specific aspect in the prior art that,while expected to be helpful to further educate the reader as toadditional aspects of the prior art, is not to be construed as limitingthe present invention, or any embodiments thereof, to anything stated orimplied therein or inferred thereupon. By way of educational background,another aspect of the prior art generally useful to be aware of is thata waistband is a circular band found on underwear, sporting shorts, andjogging pants. It is often a band of rubber or elastic that holds up theshorts during rigorous physical activity.

Typically, boxing is a combat sport in which two people engage in acontest of strength, reflexes, and endurance by throwing punches at anopponent with the goal of a knockout with gloved hands. The rules ofboxing involve the referee monitoring the waist band of the boxer'sshorts to determine whether an illegal low blow has been delivered. Ablow that lands beneath the waist is considered illegal and may resultin disqualification.

In view of the foregoing, it is clear that these traditional techniquesare not perfect and leave room for more optimal approaches.
